Scoring the Love Scale
The scoring system is really simple: You simply add up the numbers the students have circled.
The Meaning of Various LS Scores:
Extremely passionate = 106-135 points
When men and women are wildly in love, they can’t stop thinking about the other, their hearts pound, their pulses race, and they find it impossible to keep away from the objects of their desire—even when pursuit is dangerous or foolish.
Passionate = 86-105 points
People often feel this way, but not with such unrelenting intensity.
Average = 66-85 points
On occasion, people experience such bursts of passionate feeling.
Cool = 45-65 points
People feel only tepid passion and then only infrequently.
Extremely cool = 15-44 points
People don’t have these feelings.
